National Donut Day returns on Friday, June 6, with major chains offering freebies and discounts. The holiday, established in 1938 by The Salvation Army, honours women who distributed donuts to soldiers during World War I. This year, the organisation has partnered with Buddy Valastro, who will debut donuts at three New York-area bakeries, with a full rollout later in 2024.
Dunkin' is marking its 15th consecutive year of offering a free classic donut with any beverage purchase. The chain is also collaborating with Stoney Clover Lane on limited-edition merchandise, including bags, tumblers, and accessories. Items are available at select locations and online from 10 a.m. Eastern Time, with prices ranging from $6.99 to $78.
Krispy Kreme is offering one free glazed donut with no purchase necessary, and a dozen Original Glazed for $2 when buying any dozen. From June 7 to 20, rewards members can get a dozen Original Glazed for $9.99 once daily during the '14 Days of Original Glazed' promotion.
Other deals include a free cinnamon sugar donut at LaMar's Donuts with no purchase required, and six cinnamon sugar donuts for $6. Shoppers at participating supermarkets can get a free glazed donut via the store's app. 7-Eleven and Speedway rewards members can buy a classic glazed donut for $0.50.
